At the end of 2019, a new form of Coronavirus, called COVID-19, has widely spread in the world. To quickly screen patients with the aim to detect this new form of pulmonary disease, in this paper we propose a method aimed to automatically detect the COVID-19 disease by analysing medical images. We exploit supervised machine learning techniques building a model considering a data-set freely available for research purposes of 85 chest X-rays. The experiment shows the effectiveness of the proposed method in the discrimination between the COVID-19 disease and other pulmonary diseases.
